Cooks notes

  • If you can’t find asparagus, then frozen peas could be used instead.
  • Keep the wok on a high heat throughout the cooking process and keep the food moving to prevent it from sticking.
  • Toast the seeds simply dry fry in a pan for a few minutes and watch carefully to make sure they do not burn.
